I know this is a lot more then 10, but when it comes to top RPGs in my opinion, I just can’t seem to put one over the other so here they are in full and no particular order. I have beaten all these games unless otherwise stated.
Baldur's Gate (played on many platforms and different versions of game)
D&D: Warriors of the Eternal Sun
Star Ocean 2 & 3
Illusion of Gaia
ALL Final Fantasy games (except for the mmo I never played) [also played and beaten the ones that didn't commerically reach American shores]
Breath of Fire 3 (I did not beat the game but I did get far and have fond memories of playing)
Xenogears
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross
Secret of Mana
Seiken Densetsu III (I did not beat this game, though I was near the end when I quit playing)
Zelda 2,3, GB Links Awakening, N64 Orcina of Time, GC Twilight Princess…(oh hell, I liked them all)
7th Saga
Mystic Ark (still playing)
World of Warcraft (but I finally got away from that game so it's kind of love/hate) [open end game]
Lunar 1&2
Alundra (I think there was a sequel but I never got to play it)
Terranigma (I didn’t beat this game but still have fond memories of it)
Parasite Eve 1 & 2
Phantasy Star IV (I got to the end and didn’t beat this game, I was very young maybe I got a new game I don’t remember why I didn’t beat this game)
Wild Arms (always wanted Wild Arms 2 and never got it)
Dungeon Fighter Online (DFO)…it’s RPGish. Think action RPG I guess…[open end game]
There are few other RPGs that I can’t seem to recall at the moment. On a cool note, I pretty much copied and pasted all the games you all listed except for D&D:WOTES and DFO. It appears that I like a lot of the same games that a lot of you like…great minds think alike indeed. :mrgreen”
Also, there are a few games already posted that, while growing up, I always wanted to play but never got to.
